Belief

Humans believe in things outside of themselves because then people have an answer to how things happen, and why things are the way they are. From outside of a religion, people say religion is made up, a thing provide answers, but from inside each religion, the people say that that is the one true religion, passed directly from their mighty so and so.

I think the drive behind that belief is fear. People often dislike the unknown, or things they can't explain, So they find an explanation, something that can take the blame off of humans. Something that can make things make sense. If a huge forest fire devours all of a farmer's crops, he can say, "Well, that was the will of the gods. " In that way, it makes things into a laid-out plan, instead of anything else.

I was raised as an Orthodox Christian, but recently, I have been questioning this, and at this point, I really don't know much of what I believe. I do believe that there is a higher power, one that watches over us. I also believe that we are responsible for all of our actions, which in turn shape the rest of our lives. I think it is important to be open to every single person's beliefs, but not necessarily believe them yourself.
